Our favorite Laguna Beach stay - even more so than properties several times the cost. Everyone who works there is so kind, and the rooms are perfect for families. The kitchenette facilities are so convenient. Also, this inn has hands down the warmest heated pool. We’ve comfortably enjoyed it in December and January - it’s amazing.
